Story to learn to overcome childhood fears: The storm

The sky darkened quickly. The five kittens looked at the frightened window, sensing the storm that was coming. In silence they listened to the angry wind whipped the wooden shutters outside the house.

- Zas, zas, zas, zas, zas ...

The air came through the cracks of the old house whistling in a creepy way:

- Uhhhhhh, Uhhhhhh.

Everyone huddled in a corner with much fear.

Horco, the older brother, tried to be brave in front of the kittens and said:

- There is no one, it is only the wind that blows, do not be afraid. En But at that moment,

a lightning bolt zigzag in the sky illuminating the whole room, making giant shadows appear on the walls que, which caused everyone to recoil and embrace shivering. Yaiza, who was standing next to a glass door, saw shining eyes staring at her from the other side. - Miaaauuu !! She screamed very scared as she took a big jump doing a pirouette in the air, to fall immediately crushing her sister Canela, who moaned in pain without knowing what had happened.- There is someone there! I have seen it! Anyone there! She kept repeating over and over again, babbling very nervous and with her hair standing on end.

Horco approached her and grabbed her by the back with her mouth, shook her several times trying to calm her down.

-You want to shut up! - he said through his teeth without letting go - Do not you realize you're scaring the little ones? Era - It was your reflection, he tried to explain, it was you who ...

He had not finished speaking, when

a deafening noise thundered in the room making everyone cringe and hug each other tightly. Pr - Prurumprumpuuuuuuuummmmmmm ...

Bolita, the youngest of the kittens, noticed how a trail of pee fell between his paws and began to moan saying:

- I am afraid! I'm very afraid! Sniffff ... Cinnamon next to his little brother, quickly removed him from the pool of urine he had left on the floor and hugged him whispering:

- Do not cry Bolita, it has only been a thunder, I will not leave you alone.

Horco spoke to reassure everyone:

- It's a storm, soon it will pass and calm will return, do not fear little brothers.

Children's story that teaches children to overcome their fears

The rain then began to hit suddenly against the crystals with a lot of force. Everyone turned to hear the noise in the other corner of the room

- Plof, plof, plof, plof, plof! ...

A huge leak in the roof began to drip and the water that was dripping down the wall, was getting wet an old clock hung there. The ticking began to slow down, there was a moment when the sounds filled the room: Tic, Plof, Tac, Plof, Tic, Plof, Tac, Plof.

They were so engrossed looking at the clock wall, that none of them noticed that someone had entered the room. It was a huge dog that came soaking wet looking for shelter. He thought the house was empty and when the whole family of cats was there, he fell back frightened, stumbling over an old wooden cabinet.

That's when they saw him. Terrified, they huddled again, this time behind the big cat seeking protection. Horco, hiding the fear he felt, stepped forward and put himself in attack position to protect them if the case came.

But the dog said rising from the ground and shaking off the water:

- What fright you gave me! I thought there was no one in the house. What a storm!

He told them his name was Cachorro and he started talking to them amicably.

But with the fright Bolita began to chew his teeth, he was also very cold and Canela began to lick him to reassure him, first the paws, then the gut, the little ears, little by little he made the little boy get warm and stay asleep curled up to her.

- How good it smells! How hungry I am! - said Bolita in his dream, as he followed the trail of the smell of food, with his nose raised throughout the house. At last he came to a place where there was a steaming plate of very hot milk, and he began to drink feeling great pleasure. Everyone looked at him strangely, Bolita made some very strange noises while he slept.

Why do not we play to sing? Cachorro said in a lively voice, so the time will pass faster and we will be entertained.- That, let's sing! -said Kika, who had been very quiet until that moment- she is right, that way we will be entertained. Come on!

All the kittens were put together Cacharro doing run to Bolita that was still asleep without knowing anything, and they were silent.

And Cachorro began to sing:

- When the boat passed by, the boatman told me, the cute kittens do not pay money - while at the same time he graciously imitated making a gondolier grimace.

Kika also sang:

- Where are the keys, matarilerilerile, where are the keys, matarilerileroooooo - all ended up singing with the kitten.

Little by little they were encouraged to sing trying to forget the storm. The kittens laughed with the occurrences of Cachorro that turned out to be very funny. Without hardly noticing, and very tired were falling asleep.

At dawn, the light that came through windows and slits in the room, was waking up little by little. They looked at each other yawning and stretching their numb bodies. Yaiza had swollen eyes and hair standing on end and everyone laughed when he saw her.

The first one who got up to look out the window was Cachorro. followed by Horco and all the others. Everything looked different now, it was not raining and it was shining a splendid sun, todos And everyone thought that thanks to the storm that had scared them so much they had made a new friend that was very funny.
